Kima Ventures operates as a "high-frequency business angel" that backs roughly 2 startups per week with standardized €150k checks, using a single-LP evergreen structure funded by French telecom billionaire Xavier Niel rather than behaving like a traditional VC fund. The fund applies a radical diversification strategy across hundreds of global investments with same-amount, same-terms deals and very fast decisions, focusing on backing founders first over traditional traction metrics.
